The location is good if you want to be close to the main part of Mancora, but not right in the middle of it (just a few minutes walk over an unlit bridge to get to town). There is a beach right in front of the hotel (it has rocks in the water, but not on the beach itself). The breakfast area has a nice view of the ocean (but does tend to have lots of ants). It has a very nice and clean pool. You can hear the ocean at night. The bed and bedding were very comfortable.

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

눉Lack of security, it's not in front of the main surf point, you have to get tuk tuk at night on the highway which can be a little harrowing! I loved it and as a couple staying there it would be great but as a solo traveler wasn't perfect for me

눇The room was enormous with a fridge, amazing!!!! Had an actual king bed with a couch, very chill vibe, so relaxing!!

눉The rooms were more rustic that what the photos suggest. The bathroom had lots of mold and paint was falling off parts of the walls. There was noise and cigarette smoke from other guests (there are screens on the windows but the windows don't close so cigarette smoke enters the room from adjacent patio with smokers). Some staff members were very nice and friendly, some were quite rude.

눇The location is good if you want to be close to the main part of Mancora, but not right in the middle of it (just a few minutes walk over an unlit bridge to get to town). There is a beach right in front of the hotel (it has rocks in the water, but not on the beach itself). The breakfast area has a nice view of the ocean (but does tend to have lots of ants).
